Addressing Joint Employer Issues in the Health Care Industry

Nearly every sector of the U.S. economy — both unionized and non-unionized — will be affected by the NLRB’s recent decision in Browning-Ferris, which will radically alter many types of business relationships and extends far beyond labor law or perhaps even the concept of employment generally. The decision dramatically expands the risk businesses have of being found liable as a joint employer under the National Labor Relations Act, but - even more ominously - also may foreshadow the approach to be taken by other government agencies.

Given the magnitude of these potential changes to business models and as a continuation of our webinar on August 31 that summarized the NLRB decision, Seyfarth has developed industry-focused presentations designed to convey strategies and best practices to help you, as in-house counsel and HR professionals, ensure that your company and internal clients are prepared for what is ahead.

*CLE Credit for this webinar has been awarded in the following states: CA, IL, NJ and NY. CLE Credit is pending for GA, TX and VA. Please note that in order to receive full credit for attending this webinar, the registrant must be present for the entire session.
